Looking for some help with motor fault finding.
I've got a small woodworking router that i broke a couple of years back, given that we've just been covering very basic motor theory at college i want to see if i can either fix it or at least understand what's wrong with it if its terminal!

Hi,
I have 2 single phase consumer units I want to feed from a 3 phase supply. There currently exists some 3 phase SWA, but it doesn't reach either of the consumer units. The installation is indoors. Each consumer unit has a RCD on it already.
Can I just use a junction box at the end of the...

hi
I'm having a problem with an RCBO tripping out and it is unlikely to be a N-E fault. I suspect the associated neutrals have been terminated into the wrong RCBO even though there is no load connected as all the RCBO's feed unused sockets. The board itself is 3 phase and I am wondering if this...
Hello, I was doing a job today connecting up the SWA I've put in to supply the electric gates. The DB is a three phase connected up as single phase. They have taken the 25 MM into the L1 of the 3 pole Main switch but the neutral goes straight to the N bar. Its a PME system. Am I right to say...
I'm trying to source a suitable metalclad DB with a metal door/flap, and with an IP rating as high as is available off the shelf. This to be located in a Chinese takeaway that has a high pollution of the atmosphere, caused by cooking oil/fat. It may be necessary to fit a standard metalclad DB...

We have a customer with an interesting problem! Proposed install is on a split phase supply @ 460V
50kW system with existing DNO permission - As there is a new transformer on site, the DNO have said they will make an exception and allow up to 200kW on the split phase so 50kW no problem. The...
been to look at a job today, i don't normally have anything to do with 3 phase so don't shout at me to much, customer as just moved into a unit which as the above distribution board in supplying power to the original sockets, lights and alarm system, he as put the first fix in himself for some...

Hi,
First post on the forums here and some very useful information.
I am wondering is it possible to install single phase sockets (both 16amp and 32amp) using a 3 phase supply?
I am intending to get a qualified electrician in to carry out the work but want to ask is it possible firstly...

Hi
Had a call out to a customer yesterday who'd had a cooker delivered from John Lewis, but the sparky had refused to connect it as the supply was 32A on a 4mm cable. Manufacturer instructions specify 6mm cable but don't give rating of appliance, and it's not on the data plate, but manufacturer...
I have been asked to do a quote for an 8kWp system on a commercial building which only has a single phase supply.
After running different systems through various software it seems that I have 2 options;
1) Install 1 SB7000HV inverter
2) Install 2 x SB4000-TLs
Option 1 is the most cost...
